Description:
Did you know your assembly can be more accurate than your 3D printer? Let's deep-dive into precision designs, regardless of your printer. This is an educational video for designers to learn about borrowing features, material qualities, or geometry from common parts, ultimately enhancing their results in making reliable assemblies.

I included these elements to explain the topic:
1) Useful components to "borrow"
2) CAD demonstration for geometry
3) Material Properties discussion with application
4) 3D designs, open source models
3) Mass Produced design Examples
